On Sunday’s ABC This Week, Stephen
Hadley acknowledged that President Bush has not yet ordered the shut-down
of the Pentagon’s propaganda campaign in Iraq.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Has he ordered the program shut down?

HADLEY: He’s asked Secretary Rumsfeld to look
at it. It’s clear from the comments that have been made so far, that
the issue is whether that program is something that’s inconsistent
with the policy guidance. And if it is inconsistent with policy guidance
it will be shut down.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, it would be inconsistent to secretly
pay Iraqi journalists, wouldn’t it?

HADLEY: Look, we want a free media. We want truth.
That’s the whole point of this. We need to get the story about what’s
happening out. The truthful story about what’s happening to Iraq to
Iraqis, to the American people. That’s what we ought to be doing.
This kind of practices is inconsistent with that. It’s not the kind
of policy that the, that the Americans want to pursue.

The dishonest tactics used by the Penatgon in the campaign
are already well established: the source of the stories (the U.S. military)
were kept secret, “absolute truth was not an essential element”
in the stories, and the AP and Reuters photos used in the stories did not
necessarily depict the events described. This seems inconsistent with any
type of “truthful story” the United States is trying to tell.

When will Bush to live up to his rhetoric and shut
down the program?
